My bets were on Arsenal too for the title this year. I'll stick to it, even though their display was not a fine one to watch. It's as if being ahead of Chelsea too early was something they didn't aspire to.
Mourinho would have been quite happy with the result... I didn't think Payet would settle in so quickly. He was really really good. For Swansea, Montero was a treat to watch too (that's his second season, yes). |

This bullshit with Mourinho and Carneiro is pissing me off big time. The ego of Mourinho has gone to stupid levels and it may come to bite him on he ass soon. The worst thing is Carneiro's predecessor has pipped up and said

How is she being made into the bad guy in all this when Mourinho was way out of line for what he said?! Absolutely ridiculous. The best thing would be Wenger deciding to hire her. Tat would just be brilliant.

Would love to see abramovich overrule jose and reinstate her. Assuming that wont happen, I agree, her being signed by a rival team would be great. Sometimes I can see the funny side of mourinhos egomania. Other times I just think hes a nasty cunt with no class. This is definitely an example of the latter. |

Maybe. Just maybe this season will go ok. Barcelona getting dicked last night and Everton thrashing Southampton today. Now all we (by 'we' I mean 'I') need now is to get laid, and Bruce Springsteen to announce a UK tour, then my life will be sorted. For today that is.

dortmund-gladbach about to start
big game... === reus!!! what a shot!! aubameyang scores with a beautiful header from a schmelzer cross. that's 2-0. dortmund is back! YEEEEEEEESSSS. -- some motherfucker just stepped on reus's left foot. LEAVE REUS ALONE! -- holy shit 3-0 aubameyang to mkhitarian dortmund ON FIRE. ON FUCKING FIRE. 3-0 up at 33' and gadbach was 3r place last year conceded record low goals but now this dortmund sweeeeeeeeeeettttttttttt. -- lucien favre (gladbach coach) cannot believe this shit-- caught on camera with his mouth agape. his team just not allowed to play by massive dortmund pressing, possession, and firepower. --- 4-0 in the end. total domination by dortmund. amazing. weidenfeller has been relegated as starter for the europa league, and it feels right. he was slow, had to stay close to his goalpoast, and burki comes out forward instead. |

I really hate this thing where the transfer window carries on into the start of the season. Surely it'd make more sense to have it open straight after the CL final and then close at the end of July, or something along those lines. How can managers plan the start of a season with so many question marks in their squad? It makes no sense to me at all.

i agree with that, i don't know why the hell they do it this way-- start with the team you bought in the off season, roll the dice, etc. if anything, the january transfer window allows for corrections. oh, bundesliga is down in january though-- you guys aren't. |

Another reason why the Prem should have a winter break.

just finished watching the replay of last weekend's bayern-hamburg game.
yes, hamburg was the easiest of opponents, but still, it looks like douglas costa is going to be a holy terror this season. |

I've been to a baseball game and loved it, but did think while I was there that it wasn't a game that lends itself well to TV. |

Two warm up matches against Peru and Brazil in September before that stupid playoff against Mexico because USA got too cocky and Jurgen is increasingly a dumbass

so that's in the aug 31-Sept 8 break? good. ==== bayern-hoffenheim turned out to be a fun crazy little match. bayern conceded a goal on the 9th second, then tied late in the first half, 2nd half boateng got himself thrown out for playing volleyball in the barrier, hoffenheim's polanski shot his penalty kick to neuer's goalpost, then near the end lewandowski from a costa-then-gotze pass managed to pull off the 2-1. great 2nd half. -- also this past week dortmund was getting beaten 3-0 by a norwegian team and came back to win 4-3. insane. see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95ZyLnfpr3s |

Well at least we know West Ham definitely won't be getting into the Europa Cup on fair play rules. Lol.
